Pioneer Projects

This is a very  popular program.  Hug-A-Bears are  primarily for use by police, fire and emergency relief units in comforting children in traumatic situations. They are hand made and distributed by the Pioneers.

One of the most visible of all Pioneer programs -  Playground Maps are colorful, 20- by 30-foot works of art that are painted school yards. Geography may have taken a back seat  in today's school curriculum, but Pioneers help put  it back on the map - providing both educational fun for the kids and a teaching aid for educators.

THE 911 CALL SIMULATOR

Pioneers developed the portable 911 Call Simulator to teach children how to phone for help in an emergency. The  unit simulates the reality of the call to show that 911 is not a game. Dialing, dial tone, ringing and talking with the operator are realistic. We schedule and run simulation session within our communities.

TALKING BOOK REPAIR

Our local pioneers have repaired Talking books for the Blind and Physically Handicapped since 1977.  Many thousands of sets have been repaired by local volunteers in two weekly sessions. 

TOY REPAIR PROGRAM

Working with the Police Athletic League who collects toys, the Pioneers repair and refurbish the toys to local needy children. Since the beginning of the program in 1989, in excess of 65,000 toys have been repaired.  Approximately 10,000 batteries are needed yearly to power up repaired toys.
